Abstract

Lifetimes of a superdeformed band in [Formula Presented] Sr were measured with the centroid shift method. The measured average quadrupole moment of this band corresponds to a quadrupole deformation of [Formula Presented], which is slightly smaller than both the theoretical prediction, and the measured deformation of the SD band in the neighboring isotone [Formula Presented] Zr. Lifetimes of high spin states of three normally deformed rotational bands in [Formula Presented] Sr were also measured with the Doppler shift attenuation method technique. The quadrupole moments of these normally deformed bands show a decrease at the highest spins, supporting the predicted band terminations.
